Concord Man Arrested After Multi-Community Route 106 Chase: New Hampshire State Police

CONCORD, NH — A felon from Concord, with active weapon and drug possession charges, was arrested on Monday after a chase through several capital region communities, according to New Hampshire State Police.

Around 11:30 p.m., Troop D troopers were told about a chase on Route 106 that began in Belmont. Police in that community were chasing a motor vehicle on the southbound side of the road. Troopers deployed spike strips to stop the vehicle in the area of Interstate 393, Amber Lagace, a public information officer for the department, said.

The vehicle hit the strips and sped off Route 106 onto Loudon Road near the Chichester town line. The driver, Tyler W. Hoyt, 28, of Concord, was accused of exiting the vehicle and attempting to flee the scene but he was caught and arrested later. Crystal Reynolds, 40, of Woodsville, who was a passenger in the car, was also arrested by Belmont police on an active electronic bench warrant.

“During the investigation,” Lagace said, “it was discovered that a false bomb threat had been reported to the Merrimack County Sheriff’s Office from the NH Motor Speedway while the pursuit was still happening, in an attempt to draw attention away from the suspect vehicle. The Loudon Police Department is investigating those allegations further.”

Hoyt was charged with possession of a controlled drug and falsifying physical evidence, both felonies, and resisting arrest or detention charges. He was arraigned on Tuesday in Merrimack County Superior Court.

Troopers were assisted by officers from Belmont, Gilmanton, Chichester, and Loudon.

According to superior court records and posts on Patch, Hoyt is no stranger to the police.

Hoyt is a felon due to operating after being certified as a habitual offender and drug possession convictions as a teenager from December 2012 in Deerfield.

Before that, during two arrests in September 2012, he was arrested in Concord on a possession, resisting, and two breach of bail charges. At the time, Hoyt was living in Northfield. Later that month, he was arrested for possession of controlled drugs, receiving stolen property, and default or breach of bail conditions in Concord. Hoyt was also arrested on prowling, false report to law enforcement, warrants, and two counts of resisting arrest in July 2014 in Concord, too.

Hoyt faced driving while intoxicated-drugs, driving after revocation or suspension, and resisting arrest or detention charges in February 2016 after an incident on Manchester Street in Concord. In August 2016, he pleaded guilty to a felony count of sale, transport, and manufacture of a controlled drug out of Laconia. In October 2017, he was arrested on warrants and a parole violation after state police stopped a car driving around 105 mph on Interstate 93. Hoyt was also charged with conspiracy to commit in Concord in January 2018.

Hoyt was also convicted on drug possession charges out of Concord from incidents in August 2017 and April 2018. The August charge was a methamphetamine sale accomplice charge out of Concord.

Hoyt has two active cases in superior courts from August. He was accused of both felony and misdemeanor drug possession on Aug. 9, after an incident in Bedford. Hoyt failed to appear at the arraignment in Hillsborough County Superior Court North, and a warrant was issued against him on Sept. 9. He was also accused of felon in possession of a dangerous weapon and a drug charge out of Hooksett from Aug. 29.

Anyone with information about this case was asked to contact Trooper Thomas McSweeney at 603-223-4381 or Thomas.R.McSweeney@dos.nh.gov.
